I hope you don't mind, but I am going to ask you this again. I understand that you bought some blanks - do any of the key blanks say, 'HD74' on them?  Rad uses a standard blank that has several identifiers, but if you go to your local hardware store and ask for a Honda 'HD74' key blank it will most likely work with your battery and costs around $3.  Again, I'm not concerned about 'F503' or that have bought some "universal" blanks online - I'm just asking about if the blanks you have say 'HD74' - if not, you can go to the store and get one. Worst case scenario is that you are out $3 dollars.  I'd really like to save you some time and money. I should note, the Honda HD74 blanks do not work on bikes that are 2017 and before, new + bikes, RadMissions, and/or dolphin style batteries - but on your bike, they should. Best of luck.

Thanks for responding. I have bought four of those keys that you mentioned. None of them worked. No locksmith wants to mess with it. So frustrating. I understand the supply chain but Rad can order a box of keys and ship them via FedEx to the US. Customer is so bad now. You?re lucky if they get back to you.
Hi, just to clarify:
1. You have a 2020 RadCity 3 and not a 2021 Radcity 5?
2. I understand that you bought some blanks, but does the key blank say, "HD74" on it? (pic for reference)
Thanks.

I haven't heard anything as of yet, but May is National Bike Month so Rad is currently offering $100 off almost every model: https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=ml&ti=1022037&pw=267305

That is one of the better sales they have had given it covers almost all of the models.

The email I got says the $100 off ends 5/24.  I wonder if they are going to have a Memorial Day sale starting on the 25th?

Wow, I thought they have a sale on the 25th, but not this big of a sale.  "Save $300 on our flagship fat-tire RadRover 6 Plus ebike (High-Step or Step-Thru), plus receive three free accessories ? Abus Hyban Helmet, USB Charger, Front-Mounted Basket ? when you check out with all four items in the same transaction (no code needed). This incredible deal kick-starts your summer with $496* in total savings!  Offer expires 6/20/22."

RadExpand / Re: Rad Expand 5 Child Seat options

Hi community,

I am interested in using the Rad Expand 5 to transport my toddler to and from day care.

I am aware of some of the limiting options we have but I am having a hard time finding a child seat that is compatible with the rear rack. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I am not interested in getting a trailer either.

Thanks!

The RadExpand is basically a stripped down RadMini Step-Thru. If you Google "Radmini Childseat" you can find various examples.  Also, YouTube has some handy videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqAhMXNXwlY&ab_channel=PrimeUnboxing If you need something bigger you can go for something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/RadPowerBikes/comments/t878yq/radmini_stepthru_2_with_two_child_seats/                   Happy Trails!

Sorry to hear about the layoffs. If you don't mind me asking, did Rad layoff people primarily in the mobile units or were the layoffs mixed with other service personal as well? The reason I'm asking is because there have been several people on Facebook saying that Rad service isn't what it used to be.  Thanks so much.

Mostly from the mobile service but also a few here and there all around the company. Product Support lost only 3 or 4 folks if I heard correctly. It was a great company to work for, sorry to have to go, but now off to bigger and better things. :)

Best of luck to you!  I hope you find another job that makes you happy.   :)

The problem with putting a US controller in an EU or CA rover 6+ is that your motor is not 750w. it is a 250W EU, and 500W CA. so you would need to replace both the motor and the controller to get the effect you are looking for.

These parts are even listed as different part numbers in the rad dataBase so they cannot be confused with each other.
